The challenge

The analyzer equipment had various potential ignition sources. Orga was asked to help make it explosion proof. An extra challenge was posed because the equipment analyzes gas. Explosion-proof standards make additional demands where the ingress and egress of gas from flameproof enclosures are concerned.

The solution

Orga developed a tailored flameproof enclosure. Special additional tests were run to certify the combination of analyzer and enclosure.

Customer benefits

Using its many years of experience in the field of explosion safety, Orga delivered fast certification and a tailored solution that also met the client’s need to retain its own name and type number.
